A Washington D.C. lawyer is suing an area dry cleaners for losing his pants. To read the story, click here. He wants $67 million because he did not get to wear his favorite pants on his first day as a judge.

Can you say "GREEDY?" It is amazing that people allow covetousness to so completely control their lives. "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have (Hebrews 13:5). Who among us can't use a little extra money? But, $67,000,000?
While the world will always be covetous, we must learn contentment (Philippians 4:11). Let us seek the abundant life Jesus offers (John 10:10). "Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out (1 Timothy 6:6,7).
